Black and White Wednesday: "Have You Ever Seen the Black Rain?" by Hewetson and Xirinius

HoOOOw's it shakin', Groove-ophiles! Ready to shiver (and not from the cold)? Here's a Horror-Mood masterpiece of the macabre as only Archaic Al Hewetson could deliver (complete with a CCR song-title reference). "Have You Ever Seen the Black Rain?" from Psycho #8 (cover-dated September 1972) was illustrated by the multi-talented Spanish artist Xirinius (aka Jaime Juez Castella), who, at the time this story was published, had already notched nearly fifty years of published art experience under his belt!

Black and White Wednesday: "Bad Choke" by Glut and Xirinius

Enter freely and of your own will, Groove-ophiles! Today we're cracking open our moldy copy of Skywald's Psycho #8 (cover-dated September 1972) to take a look at a classic short shocker by writer Don (Dr. Spektor, Dagar, Tragg) Glut and artist Jaime Juez Castella (aka Juez Xirinius). Ol' Groove loves those blackly humorous spooky stories that are built around really bad puns like..."Bad Choke!" Dig it!





And if you think they don't make 'em like this any more, check out The Creeps Magazine. Glut is writing brand new stories just like these for 'em and they're far-out!
